It's obviously an expensive piece everywhere, I'd be looking for alternatives or having yours rebuilt.  At the very least pull it out, test it, clean it and any filters and tank evaporation valves (pressure relief etc).

Hi everyone,
I have a 2006, 939 2.2 Litre Spider for sale in the Canberra region.

Its a great car, Ive owned two 939's previously and my daily is a Stelvio. The Spider is in great conditon for its age, not perfect but pretty good. I've owned it going on four years now, less that 120K on the clock documented service hitory and with the exception of defective oil temp guage (sender) everything else is solid.Ive had zero luck selling on FB or Car sales other than consistent spams and thought I would get the message out through Alfa Romeo Owners Club, asking 15K but more than happy to negotiate.Regsitered in QLD until Nov 25 and happy to arrange transport or inspections as needed for registration. Photos attached feel free to share or contact me.

Because parts availability is crap....most of the parts are obsolete for the 159/Brera platfrom, come on Bazz you know this 

To be honest, the only part I have ever had an issue in acquiring has been power steering pumps. Never had an issue acquiring any other parts, luckily I have had several excellent part suppliers to work with, if one didn't have what I needed one of the others would.

Not saying you're wrong, guess I've just been lucky/blessed.

Brera (coupe or spider) is a beautiful thing

Agree, so very much agree.

Brera (coupe or spider) is a beautiful thing, but heavy and not delicate to drive like a traditional Alfa.  It's based on a GM platform, and it shows when driving.

The earlier 156/147/GT/GTa models can handle beautifully, but the suspension is made of chocolate and wears out really quickly.  Parts for these seem better, but they're also getting on in age (I have a soft spot for the Sportwagon).

The Giulietta, Giulia and Stelvio are far, far better cars.  I'd avoid the multiair  Giulietta (only) as they seemed to have a fair few issues early on.  Get the 1750tbi QV, mine has 185K km on it, all flat out.. really hard to ignore how reliable this car has been.

Giulia and Stelvio are next generation again, I prefer hatches and wagons so it will be a Stelvio if/when ever I change.  Probably go the diesel with stupid all terrain tyres that I'll drive to the top of Cape York and point/laugh at all the Land Cruiser 300's

Tonale seems a PHEV odd duck with software issues.

Brera is a beautiful thing though (find a 1750tbi version)

Why the disapproval towards the Brera?
